It’s much harder to realize everyone else will be just fine without you.

I’m officially copyrighting "No Technology Day for Administrators." From now on, my speeches in front of literally thousands and thousands of people will include not only a push for administrators using technology, but also a push not to use technolgy.

Just so you know, I’m typing this on my resort balcony. Sure it sounds fun, but there is a slight glare on my computer screen as I enjoy the 94 degree sunshine. And if that wasn’t enough, the ice cubes in my drink are melting ever so slightly.

Okay, color me not surprised (after all, the next election is always just around the corner… and the next one… and so on… and on…).

Then let’s fix the principals (like they are all broken).

The new law wants to prepare principals to be instructional leaders. Great idea.

It also wants colleges to make their school administration programs to be more challenging. As opposed to revenue sources for their education departments. Again, great idea.

Another aspect of the law is to allow an alternative pathway to principal endorsement through nonprofit entities. Okay, this might just work. As always, there is more than one way to skin a cat (although why you would want to I’ll never know).

Let’s start cranking out new and improved principals.

With that being said, I do have a couple of concerns with the law.

One is they want each principal candidate to participate in a month long residency program. My complaint… a month isn’t long enough.
